Weight gain! Getting me down!

Hi girls! Basically I had my midwife appointment today and I was disgusted how much I weigh! I lost over 5 stone with slimming world last year and once I had my missed misscarriage I emotionally ate and since June I’ve gained 2.5 stone back on! I’m so worried and scared that I may harm the baby! I’m 5ft 4 & weigh 14.7 stone I wouldn’t say I look it at all that much as I’m still I’m my size 12/14 jeans! It’s so emotional when it comes to my weight and I know ol gain more 😢😢 xx

I got married last Feb and since then have put on 2 1/2 stone. Feeling pretty crap about it, especially tryinging on dresses for upcoming wedding...early bloat and big boobs do not feel glam at the mo. My plan is to eat healthy for baby and me, get out with the dog more and remember eating for 2 does not mean double portions!

I’m dreading my booking in appointment as I’m very overweight. I was all set to rejoin weight watchers today until I found out I was pregnant yesterday. I really didn’t want to get pregnant at thecweight I am at currently. I’m definately gong to try eat healthily and walk a lot.

I’ve gained almost 2 stone since my wedding last March after losing about 3 stone. I joined SlimmingWorld yesterday to make sure I don’t gain too much this pregnancy and ensure I stay healthy and don’t eat all the cake in the world! X

Your growing child

Following a well-established nighttime routine may help settle your baby to sleep. Feed her, give her a bath, put her in her pyjamas, play a game, read her a book, sing songs or play some music, then put her down. Read More

5 month old, first week

5 month old, second week

Your baby may start showing signs of one of his first major emotional milestones – stranger anxiety. He may become clingy and anxious around new (and even familiar!) people and may cry if a stranger suddenly approaches him. Read More

5 month old, third week

Your baby's getting better at spotting very small objects and tracking moving things. At this point, he may be able to recognise an object after seeing only part of it, like his favourite toy peeking out from under the couch. Read More
